WHEN DADDY PLAYS HIS FIDDLE, 1a rw:Tel When quiet settles o'er the farm, An' nieht takes place of day, An' all the stock is housed au' fed An' supper's cleared away, Then daddy takes his fiddle out, An' tunes the E ond A, An' then the Q string with the D, An' then begins to play. He plays a reel or jig or two To git his fingers free; To take the kinks out left by work, He says to ma an' me. An' then he puts in longer strokes, An' lays his face hard o'er, An' plays on three strings at a time, An' sometimes hits the four. He cuts in deep upon the bass, An' thunderstorms pass o'er. An' then he sails high on the K An' clears the skies once more. Now deep an' loud; now soft an' low, Life tremblin' by a thread; A dismail wail off in the night Where gravestuns mark the dead. Then daddy strikes a streak of hope, An' buii breaks through the rain, An' then he strikes a martial air An' marches home again, No time, no tune, no written score, Jes' somethin' daddy plays, The like of which was never heard In old or modern days.- He seems a different man whene'er His fiddle's in his hand; There is a bond between the two That's hard to understand. An' ma she sets an' knits away. An' dreams her dreams uv old, While dadl's fiddle takes 'em both Way oft to lands uv gold. No doubt they spy a shady lane, An' hear the songs uv birds, An' see themselves, two lovers there. With hearts too full fur words. I've heard big bands an' orchestras, Church organs tin' 'the rest, But fur sweet music f rum the heart. I likemv daddv's best. That is a beautiful incident told of a certain church member who was unfu- iliar with some of the most precious promises in llie Bible. The story is old but it will bear repealing (or the benefit those who have not road it. A well-to-do dcaoon in Connecticut was one morning aooostcd by bis pastor, ho said,"I'oor Widow Orccn'a wood is Can you not take her i cord ?" "Well," answered the deacon, "I have e wood and I have the team, but who to pay me for it V The pastor re- ied : "I will pay you for it on condi tion that you read the firt-t three verses the forty-first Psalm before you go to bed to-night." The deaoon consented, livered the wood and at night opened e word of Ood and read the passage : "Bletsed is he that coosiderelh the poor; the Lord will deliver bim in time ol trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon earth; and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of bis enemies. The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing; thou wilt make all is bed in his sickness." A few days afterwards the pastor met lm again. "How much do I owe you, deacon, for ibat cord of wood ?" "Oh I" said the now enlightened man, do not speak of payment; I did not now those promises were in the Bible. would not take money for supplying the widow's wants."

Multitudes are singing the praises of Ko dol, the new discovery which is making so many sick people well, and weak peo ple strong by digesting what they eat, by cleansing and sweetening the stomach and by transforming their food into the kind of pure, rich blood that makes you feel good all over.

Tho young multi-millionaire sat in his sumptuous office. At one elbow was a telephone. At the other was a ticket. In front was a system of push buttons, lo a corner was a telegraph operator, In another was a wireless receiver. By his side was his faithful Secretary. "Now, Mr. Quickly," he said, "look at the schedule, and tell me what I am lo do in the next thirty minutes." "You are to get married, sir," said Quickly. "To whom?" "That hasn't been decided." "Ah, yes, I remember. I have been so busy that no selection has been made. ery well. Now get Newport, Lenox, Lower California, London, Paris, and other marriage marts, and find a girl five feet three, not over twenty-live, with real blonde bair, weight 150, and a father who is in the oombine, if possible. Robinson's list of availables may help you." In ten minutes the privato Secretary mado his report. "Here are five," he said. His employer looked over the names. "Good!" he exclaimed. "The market appears to be strong. Try number three' Bar Harbor, you say. Wait a minute." He rang up Bar Harbor. In half a minute be was talking with Mr. Milton, owner of several States and Territories. "Is it all right, old man ?" he asked, finally. "Certainly," was tho reply. "How can 1 refuse anything to the man wlio helped us st a critical moment to keep up the price of bacon ? Ethel is playing ping-porg." The ardent suitor rang up the ping- pong table, and briefly stated his errand. Two minutes were passed in explana tion. "Yes," was finally given. Bishop Stumper was found at Rich field Springs. Tho combination phono graph and telephone was opeocd up for the ceremony. The bridegroom em ployed thj slight delay to apologize to Ethel's partner for interrupting thi game. It vas all right. Now, Quickly," said the bridegroom, "tell 'em to get a gait on, as in fourteen minutes I've got to talk to the President of the Bean Trust." The sonorous voice of the bishop was heard over the wite. The responses were firm and audible. The moment approached for the ring. Ethel's part ner had volunteered to be best man. "How stupid of me," said the groom. Foruot that nog.
